The documentary narrates the personal experience and memories of the displaced refugees and interned people, and how they experienced and felt the Turkish invasion in July 1974. Traumatic experiences of children, adolescents, and adults were imprinted and remain in their memories and souls 50 years later. The 88-minute documentary is a narrative from 18 people who lived in Cyprus before the Turkish invasion in 1974.
